The season of Lent began on We'd
nesday, which is known in the church
calender as Ash Wednesday. On that
day in the Catholic clutches there is
a customary blessing and distribution
Of ashes, morning and evening, by way
of recalling the origin Of man and pre-
pairing the faithful for deeds of prnance.
The rules in the Catholic churches
are to allow only "a meal every day
except Sunday during Lent. On We'd
nesday and Friday, meat in any
way is forbidden, the other days
of the week it may be eaten once, and
on Sundays there is no restriction as to
its use. Persons in delicate health,
those whose work is specially laborious
and Those who are under q ye rs OF
over 90, are exempted from the neces-
sity of fasting but not from abstinence
from file h meat. Lent lasts until
Easter.
